Welcome to the Boston Mineral Club website! If you have suggestions, questions or comments about the site, please use the contact page.

The Boston Mineral Club (BMC) was founded in 1936 to "promote the study and collecting of rocks and minerals, to encourage friendly cooperation among mineralogists and collectors, [and] to promote the study of mineralogy and related arts and sciences coming within the purview of earth sciences..." In the pursuit of these goals, the BMC offers educational programs at club meetings, mineral collecting field trips, a newsletter, and access to our mineralogical reference library.

The Boston Mineral Club is a member of the American Federation of Mineral Societies and the Eastern Federation of Mineral and Lapidary Societies.

You do not need a college degree in earth sciences to join the club! We are open to all. We welcome and encourage new members to join the club. BMC Application

The Harvard Mineral Museum should be open starting at 7:00 p.m. At 8:00 p.m., we will hold a brief business meeting and plan to start the presentation by 8:15 p.m. As usual, there will be refreshments; a mineral raffle and the Mineral Quiz (look in this newsletter for details). Please invite a friend if you’d like — guests are always welcome to attend our meetings and it’s a great way to introduce them to the club.

PLEASE NOTE: Parking for BMC meetings is no longer in the DEAS lots. Please park instead in the new underground parking garage at 52 Oxford Street. The entrance to this lot is just opposite Everett Street and is the same entrance that we formerly used to park in the old surface lot beside the museum. Please see the map at the bottom of the meetings page.
